Published Wednesday, Jan 13 2010, 09:42 GMT | By Simon Reynolds
Four new releases - Daybreakers, It's Complicated, The Road and Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll - failed to dent the sci-fi movie's chart position, as it spends another week on top in the UK.
Sherlock Holmes, Daybreakers, the Alivin And The Chipmunks sequel and It's Complicated round out the top five, while the movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road lands at number six.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon falls out of the top ten for the first time since its release two months ago. The sequel has pulled in £27 million in the UK, almost three times as much as its predecessor.

1. (1) Avatar - £4,770,980
2. (2) Sherlock Holmes - £2,026,732
3. (-) Daybreakers - £1,344,588
4. (3) Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel - £1,220,271
5. (-) It's Complicated - £1,098,659
6. (-) The Road - £627,147
7. (4) Did You Hear About The Morgans? - £558,415
8. (5) Nine - £338,454
